MILWAUKIE, Ore., (Jan. 31, 2017)—Mike Mignola, the legendary creator of Hellboy and NEW YORK TIMES bestselling novelist Christopher Golden reunite for the epic conclusion to Baltimore with Baltimore: The Red Kingdom,
a five part comic book series from Dark Horse Comics co-written by
Mignola and Golden, with art by award winning children’s book
illustrator Peter Bergting, colors by Michelle Madsen and stunning
covers by Ben Stenbeck (Frankenstein Underground).

“By the time the rest of the world took his evil seriously, it was too
late to stop the Red King from coming to power,” said acclaimed
co-writer and novelist Christopher Golden. “Now his evil spreads. The
weak and the monstrous fall into line behind him. As the Red Kingdom
grows, it’s never been more important to rise up and resist!”

In Baltimore: The Red Kingdom,
Lord Baltimore is missing. The Red King—evil incarnate—is taking over
the world. Baltimore’s team has been driven apart, with some of them
dying on the frontlines, while others are in hiding. Since the day he
set out for revenge on the vampire who killed his family, Baltimore’s
fight has gotten bigger than he’d ever imagined, but what role will he
take as evil finally threatens to consume the world?

The first issue of Baltimore: The Red Kingdom is on sale from Dark Horse Comics on February 1, 2017.
